## Description

Basic Social Share Buttons allows your users to share posts to social networks without
loading any javascript.

### Configuration

Admin options are in the WordPress admin under Reading.

You can choose between three button sizes:
 * Small – Icon only * Medium – Icon 
+ site name * Large – Icon + “Share on ” + site name

You can choose to include the css (via wp_enqueue) or you can disable the enqueue
and the css rules will be shown in admin for you to insert in your main stylesheet(
for one less http request).

### Usage

Use the short `[basic-share-buttons]` in your post content.

or in a php template its `<?php echo do_shortcode('[basic-share-buttons]'); ?>`

The title and URL are taken from WordPress’s `the_title()` and `the_permalink()`
functions.

You can override both as parameters to the shortcode.
 [basic-share-buttons title
=’Your custom page title’ url=’http://customurl.com/page’]
